Delhi Trials Spray Injection Technology for Faster, Durable Pothole Repairs
Delhi's Public Works Department, led by Minister Parvesh Verma, is trialing 'Spray Injection Patching' technology for pothole repairs. This fully mechanised, single-machine method cleans potholes with high-velocity air, applies bitumen emulsion, and injects coated aggregate under pressure, enabling repairs in 2 to 5 minutes. The technology offers durable, all-weather repairs with minimal traffic disruption and can fix 100-150 potholes daily. If successful, wider adoption will be considered to improve road maintenance efficiency, especially during monsoon.
